"The enchanting prelude. "

This is a story of incredible challenges and amazing settings. You see the characters overcome these challenges stronger and readier then ever. There is a lot of progression on charcters by the way they act and just how the author writes. J. R. R. Tolkien is one of the best description writers. You feel the intensity and anxiety of the charcter. You imagine the settings and charcters like you've known them and scene them your whole life. You feel every little detail from the cool nightly breeze as you walk through leaves to the heart pounding escape from the most wreched creatures that you cound imagine.

"I beg your pardon, I haven't asked for anything!"
"Yes, you have! Twice now. My pardon. I give it you. In fact I will go so far as to send you on this adventure."
"Sorry! I don't want any adventures, thank you. Not today.

The book does have a slow start, but it is worth while. It gives you backround and description so there are no interuptions later on. Soon enough you will find your self on the edge of your chair, heart beating in the intensity. This isn't the easiest to read but this is a great read and I would reccomend this very highly.
